Everybody lies. If they say they don't, they're lying!

People lie for a variety of reasons. Mostly it's because they're afraid to face the consequences of their actions. Simple as that.

I find it funny that somebody thinks it's acceptable to lie about cheating on their partner because they don't want to hurt them or risk losing them. Well Einstein, perhaps you should have thought about that before cheating on them and you wouldn't need to lie about it!

I personally see no reason to lie, not even 'white lies'. For example:

I ask my boyfriend "Does this dress make my arse look fat?".

I don't want to hear the honest truth, "Like a damn tank!"

But I also don't want him to lie and say "No baby, you look hot!" ...when I actually look like a tank.

The correct answer would be "I like that little black dress you have better." No lie, no hurt feelings, you just need a little tact to tell the truth in most circumstances to avoid the 'white lies'. It isn't always easy, but it's always better to tell the truth no matter what. Lying is just plain wrong. Period!

Agree Crystal. I'm 5'7" and I prefer a man right around 6 ft. I feel odd towering over my man, so that height gives me some clearance when I throw the spiked heels on to dress up now and again. Plus I honestly worry about crushing a little dude in the bedroom, not that I'm enormous, but I don't want to break anyone so I prefer a guy who is bigger than me by a fair bit.

Grew up in the sticks so I'm definitely more in favor of the rugged look, jeans or Carharts and scruff. Wasn't much choice in my neck of the woods where suit and tie guys were rare, other than weddings, funerals, holidays, or special occasions when even a redneck cleans up well.

Plus I'm not a girly girl type, I'm more tomboyish in jeans, tee and a ballcap half the time myself, so I doubt suit type guys would be attracted to me. Don't get me wrong, I can and do dress up when the mood hits or it's required, but I'm way more comfortable at a ballgame than at a gala charity ball for instance. I'd take a blue collar guy over a white collar guy 99 times out of 100.

It's the coach's job to get the most out of his players, to make sure they're playing up to their potential. It's his job to change things if there are problems, therefore if the team fails, then he's held responsible. The players have to play, but the coach ultimately decides WHO plays and who goes. That's my best analysis.

Apparently you are mistaken when you claim "Everyone wants to be good looking. Everybody is obsessed with the way they look. They spend vast amounts of cash on..."

I'm not good looking and I don't spend any money on trying to make myself look better. I have gray hair that stays gray. I wouldn't get a boob job, a tummy tuck or any other such cosmetic surgery EVER. I wander out of the house without make-up on, dressed in an old tee and sweats, and I could give a crap what people think of how I look. It's not the outside package that matters, it's what's inside that counts. So please don't say 'everyone'...perhaps you should say 'the majority of people' instead.

Screw making everyone perfect looking...clone the spirit of Mother Teresa or Ghandi and implant that in people if you want to improve the human race. Now that's a pipe dream!

Filet mignon. Medium rare.

Praying for your sister and your family right now.

Now I know! Learn something knew everyday. Guess I can check cerebral intake off the To Do list now and go rent this movie if I wanna bawl my eyes out. Thanks Torgo.

I have a degree in biobehavioral psychology, which is why I said it would be impossible to calculate that ratio of positive to negative thoughts for a day. I know how the brain works, how neurons fire to produce thoughts, and the vast majority of people could never keep track for more than a few minutes. Even if you multiply your one minute assessment by 1440 (# mins/day), you aren't getting a valid result for the 24 hr time frame based on one minute of activity. Plus things change minute to minute during the day so you really would have to sit there ALL DAY contemplating each and every thought. You don't have to be a shrink to know you'd have to be nuts to even attempt such a pointless endeavor!

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nope, I don't wonder about it anymore. Did it two years ago. Abandoned everyone I knew and headed 1500 miles south all by my lonesome for some fun in the sun in Florida.

I spend 20 years being Mom, and I wanted a chance to be just me again. Don't exactly see it as starting a 'new life' though. It's just a new chapter in this same 'ole life I already have!

I have two on my truck:

"Dispatchers tell cops where to go!" ...This one has saved me from a few tickets!

and

"My black lab is smarter than your fifth grader"

I told you I had no clue what hookers charge! And I don't even wanna know what 'half and half' is!

Tell ManO thanks for the clarification!

The mere thought makes my head hurt! Now I need to know if that one thought that 'the mere thought makes my head hurt' is a negative thought or a positive thought. But I just had that second thought without knowing the answer to the first thought, so now I'm behind in thoughts, and is this thought negative or positive? Do you see where I'm going with this?!?

So my answer is...No more so than you could count the grains of sand on a beach or waves in an ocean. My thoughts run rampant in either direction depending on the weather of my spirit. Sometimes I'm storming, sometimes it's clear sailing and a beautiful day. I only know the general sense of things, can't quantify a specific ratio of positive to negative for all the thoughts that cross my mind on any given day. I'd go insane after ten minutes and I'm already more than half way there!

I can't pick just one place. I wanna see everywhere. Australia, all of Europe, Africa, Carribean Islands, Alaska, the Grand Canyon on a donkey...

You name it, I wanna go there! There are just way too many places I haven't seen that I want to visit someday. My spirit longs to roam.

I would have an easier time telling you where I DON'T want to go. Hell. That's all. Everywhere else is a go!

When did "Where the Red Fern Grows" come out as a movie? I don't know if I can watch it. I'm positive it would do a number on me too!

...but sorta relevant pkh ...

...This was the book that cemented my love of reading! I bawled my eyes out and dreamt that someday I would write like that. It just amazed me that words written on pages could inspire such strong emotions in the reader, as if I was actually there experiencing the story.

Actually, many of the movies that inspire waterworks from my overactive tear ducts also inspired them as books first...Of Mice and Men, The Outsiders, Marley and Me, The Green Mile... in fact, many of the movies mentioned here had me crying long before they hit the big screen. I guess I'm just a sap.

Handcuff my man to the bed, after he makes me a huge steak of course. I'm going out with my meat and a bang!

Funny clip of a famous study done showing the effect of unequal reward. Very interesting what we can learn when we examine animal behavior. Studies like this one have been replicated over and over with similar responses shown by a variety of different species. Gotta think us humans aren't exempt.

That's some flawed logic I'm thinkin'. You HAVE been rewarded, from what I've seen this past week. You've posted honestly, and received honest responses from people offering sincere suggestions. You don't seem to count those, and assume they're ridiculing you for your honesty. Perhaps re-read some responses?

If you're honestly seeking just sex, did you really expect a bunch of women to fall down with legs spread wide for ya after just a week on here and posting such statements? Have you not received ANY offers, even if you found the person too repulsive for your likes? What exactly do your expect for a reward for your honesty? Keep in mind how many women are actually in your vicinity, on this site, who happen to be willing and able to 'reward' you the way you want.

Honesty IS always the best policy! You can't be someone you're not!

Good news! You can take your ipad!

I just concluded that living beings aren't things, so they don't count, per se. Of course we'd rescue them first, but we get to take one 'thing', that's what pkh said, right?!? So everyone that answered with some form of a living being response gets another shot at this, no?!

Ipad it is for you!
